    How do we overcome sinful habits?

    Thanks childeye. I wasn't ignoring your other remarks. It is just that John8:32 wrote something pretty deep and I didn't feel all that competent to add anything to it. I was letting the others do that! Regarding your above remark I'm not sure I'm comfortable with saying there is a cause and...

    Great feedback Danus. Very useful remarks indeed. Will think over them and see about working them in somehow.

    How do we overcome sinful habits?

    Thanks Doulos Iesou, childeye for your comments. I know people who desperately do not want to sin, yet from time to time fall into a weakness with alcohol or pornography. Some then go into a terrible depression with guilt and shame which they then have to drag themselves out of. Although there...

    How do we overcome sinful habits?

    Hi everyone - I've written the following tract which I want to eventually put on my website. Wondered whether I could get some feedback first. Any comments welcome - positive or negative. Many thanks. How do we overcome sinful habits? Can we always overcome temptation or are there times...

    Thanks John 8:32. I'll try and use this example.

    Why is it our prayers are not always answered?

    Thanks John8:32. I would like to expand on it and include more verses (particularly those you quoted from Daniel) but unfortunately I have limited space in the format I use.

    Why is it our prayers are not always answered?

    I've written the following tract which will go on my website and I'm interested in getting feedback as I still have time to improve it. I am limited by space so cannot increase the number of words so it is at times necessarily brief. Many thanks. Why is it our prayers are not always answered...

    Questioning God ?

    I believe it is fine to ask God any type of question we like... If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting...(James 1:5ff). ...so long as we do not imply by our...

    What does God want me to do?

    Hi Jethro - before I make any comments on the above, I do want to reiterate that I am grateful for your response. Regarding the above paragraph - I'm sorry to say I am finding it very difficult indeed to understand. I think you must have had a lot of teaching in this area to base it on which...

    What does God want me to do?

    Jethro - thanks again for taking the time to reply. I appreciate your effort! I'm struggling to grasp this. The thing I find difficult is that you seem to be saying that God at times requires us to do two things which cannot both be accomplished. In the 1 Samuel 15 account, I read it...

    What does God want me to do?

    I think 'servitude' is used more commonly in the US than the UK. I hardly ever hear it spoken here in the UK. I guessed it meant serving in some way. But I still can't understand the following sentence: No need to labour it though! Thanks anyway for your help.

    What does God want me to do?

    for_his_glory Thanks for this comment which I acknowledge is valid. The reason why I did not include it is for lack of space. I'm keeping the length of the article to fit on one side of letter paper. ...again, as per previous post, I'm not sure what 'anything in servitude' means. Sorry. I'm...

    What does God want me to do?

    Hi Jethro. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I agree very much with your sentiments in the third paragraph, however I'm still thinking about your first two paragraphs. I'm not sure what you mean by the 'service of our gifts' and 'obligation of our obedience'. These phrases are new to me...

    What does God want me to do?

    Hi everyone - I've prepared the below article in the form of a tract which I hope to put on the web at some point. I am interested in any feedback before I do this as I can still change it. Many thanks. What does God want me to do? Finding God’s will for our lives is something very...
